For an even richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter. Substitute Greek yogurt for some of the sour cream for a tangier and slightly lighter version. Add roasted garlic or fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme) for a more complex flavor profile. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the mashed potatoes. For a smoother consistency, use a potato ricer instead of a masher.
